Forza Horizon 3 Sales

Following some pretty prolific launches, the racing genre is doing well in the UK right now. Last week’s sales numbers show that not two, not three, but four racers charted in the top 10. Strong continued showings from previously released games were joined by Need For Speed Payback, the latest offering from Ghost and EA.

This week’s UK video game sales numbers have shown off some impressive figures for the racing genre. Three big titles have seen noteworthy holds or moves up the sales ladder in the face of stiff competition.

Microsoft just posted a sales update for the Forza series, confirming the franchise has reached an incredible milestone, with total retail sales exceeding one billion dollars.

Playground Games’ third entry in the Forza Horizon series has moved from strength to strength since release last autumn. Not only was it a critical success at the GAME Awards, but it looks like a commercial success as well. According to GfK Chart-Track (link via NeoGAF), Forza Horizon 3 came in an impressive tenth position in terms of physical game sales in the UK last year.
